"All things are lawful, but not all things are profitable. All things are lawful, but not all things edify. Let no one seek his own good, but that of his neighbor." -I Corinthians 10:23-24 (NASB)
There was a group of students at my school that decided to look for ways to build up other students and the teachers. They formed small groups that chose to look at how students viewed the school and the world and then worked to build up positive perceptions of each other, of the school, and possibly even of the world. The students worked to remain anonymous in order to allow the focus to be on the students and the school environment. They worked to build up each other and the entire school community!
We are called by God to live in Him and to spread His love to our neighbors. As we live for God, we should not be focused on our own glory, but on His glory. As we live to give glory to God, we can seek to build up others. We can do this by listening to how others feel, to act kindly, and to show God's love and support for those around us. We will not always agree with our neighbors, but we can find the good in each of them and show them God's love! As we love and build up our neighbors, God will be glorified!
Don't focus on your own good, but build up others in the name of God!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for Your guidance in my life. Help me to see the good in my neighbors and allow me to build them up for Your glory. Through Jesus I pray, amen.
